Review - "Lara Jean Series" by Jenny Han
I've been in a major contemporary mood ever since my vacation officially started and with the Netflix movie coming out this month, I had to pick up the Lara Jean series. And guys. How adorable was this??? It is nothing ground-breaking, but it's cute, it's romantic and it's funny. I'm not giving you a synopsis here, because I figure most of you already know the basics of the plot (and those who don't, the trailer for the movie gives a nice summary).
1. "To All The Boys I've Loved Before":This one has to be my favorite, because it's where the story felt the most organic and layered. The romance is so freaking cute in here and despite some tiny flaws, it's a wonderful feel-good-book for the summer (and it's foody!!!). ⭐⭐⭐⭐
2. "P.S. I Still Love You": Now, book 2 managed to brush up some of the aforementioned flaws of book 1 and addressed some unresolved issues from its predecessor, but ultimately felt too dramatized. Especially the finally was a little rushed in my opinion. Still, I enjoyed it immensely and if it was a race, it would've lost to book 1 by maybe 5 %. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
3. "Always And Forever, Lara Jean": Book 3 is a different story. I was pretty excited for this because Lara Jean's relationship seemed to have matured enough to deal with normal teenage stuff (sex, I'm talking about sex), which was not that relevant during the first two books. On top of that, I was already pretty much in love with every character and felt like visiting my personal cotton candy world. I also related a lot to everything Lara Jean went through with her last few weeks of senior year, since I just finished school myself last summer. But (there's always a 'but') this story felt not necessary, which was especially evident in the uneventful beginning and the rushed climax. If it hadn't been for my utter love for the world itself, this would've been three stars at most, but oh well. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Time to binge-read this baby for the second, third, fourth, thousandth(?) time! 💕
Why?
Because 1) No one can get enough of Lara Jean & Peter Kavinsky
and 2) To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before the MOVIE is coming to @netflix on Friday!! I can’t flippin’ wait!

"My letters are for when I don't want to be in love anymore. They're for good-bye. Because after I write in my letter, I'm not longer consumed by my all-consuming love...My letters set me free. Or at least they're supposed to." // Can we talk about how gorgeous this movie cover is? I'm counting down to Friday when the movie is out on Netflix!

(Booklist)

• Today I've started this lovely, P.S. I still love you. So far I really like it, and I bet that opinion won't change during the remaining part of the book. Furthermore, I'm so excited for the movie, I literally cannot wait until it is Friday! •
#qotd : are you excited for the To all the boys I've loved before movie?

3 days left till the movie!!! Time is really flying by and I can't believe I will finally get to see this on the screen😄
I've been having trouble with sleeping, I keep waking up in the middle of the night multiple times and then I don't want to wake up so I have to fix that as that means I go on my walks later on in the day and you know too many people on the street👎😂🙈 I've also ended up finishing a book in one day yesterday, Finding Dandelion and surprise surprise - I LOVED IT!! I'm so tempted to just read New Adult for the rest of my days, they are just so fast paced and easy to read. Even though I must say that book made me cry so much😭 it was a sad but happy cry as that book is emotional🙈🙈
